Spent Gladiator 2 - the Mountain Goats HD скачать видео бесплатно

Lyrics:

Like a spent gladiator,

Crawling in the Colosseum dust,

Who can count on his remaining limbs,

All the people he can trust.

Like the one who stands behind him,

Cheering him on.

Ecstatic when he stands defiant,

Wild with abandon when he's gone.

Just stay alive.

Keep your eyes on the palum.

Like a village on the steppe,

About to get collectivized.

When the men emerge with rifles from the haystack,

Everybody looks surprised.

Like the mice in the forgotten grain,

Way up on the top shelf.

Like someone who's found a small town to escape to,

Keeps one eye on his abandoned, former self.

Stay in the game.

Just try to play through the pain.

Like a fighter who's been told it's finally time for him to quit.

Show up in shining colors,

And then stand there and get hit.

Like the clock that ticks in Dresden,

When the whole town's been destroyed.

Like the nagging flash of insight,

You're always desperate to avoid.

Like the bloody-knuckled gunman,

Still stationed at the breach.

Like that board game with the sliders,

And the children on the beach.

Stay alive.

Maybe spit some blood at the camera.

Just stay alive.

Stay forever alive.

Everyone has this unfounded vision of the way they will act in a time of danger. They know they won't be scared. They'll give themselves up to save others. They think they know death, the way it will feel bearing down on them, the knowledge that these actions are to be their last. Once they finally see death, however, more terrible than they ever could have imagined, there is no talk of bravery, of heroism. The reality of death leaves its soon-to-be victims with only one option: Just stay alive.

I hate claiming that certain songs 'speak to me' or anything like that, but when this album came out I was dealing with some anxiety issues, and there was just something about the two Spent Gladiator songs that felt really powerful to me. Wonderful music.
